Nathan Fillion

They are two best friends, Firefly alum, and probably the only two guys that can get both nerdy boys and girls to drop their underoos with burning man desire. They are Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion. These two well known stars of TV and film have been around the Convention circuit offering their stories, egos, and devilishly handsome looks to elated fans. Now they’re now using their experience with cons to transform the weird and wonderful world of conventions into a web series. It’s called Con Man and will be written, directed and star Tudyk with Fillion co-starring as well as producing.

The series focuses on the actors’ experiences after their show’s cancellation, as they make their way into the convention circuit. As Tudyk explains in the video below, outsiders often think that science fiction fans are the weirdest part about a convention when, in truth, the strangest characters can be found behind the scenes.

Already they have their Firefly cast members Sean Maher and Gina Torres along for the ride as well as James Gunn, Seth Green, Felicia Day and Amy Acker, just to start. (more…)

We’re all saddened by the passing of Leonard Nimoy earlier today. It will take some time for most of us to fully process his loss. People all over the world are responding to his passing in tweets, Facebook posts, and other social media. Take a look and then tell us one of your favorite Nimoy moments in film, television, convention appearances, or just that random encounter you had with Nimoy one day. (more…)

The moderator called him “Canada’s favorite son,” but really Nathan Fillion was treated more unto a god at the National Fan Expo in Toronto Saturday. The people offered him tributes, words of praise and thanks, and in return he awarded the lucky few (hundreds) who were able to attend his early morning Q&A with more than several very funny anecdotes about the enduring appeal of Firefly, his veteran hit detective series Castle, and his admiration for one Benedict Cumberbatch.

The Internet fell in love with The Robert Downey Jr. & Mark Ruffalo Science Bromance after The Avengers film hit theaters, but there was a second bromance brewing. A secret love that dare not speak its name. One that we’ve just become aware of, that might be even more magical, The Whedon & Hiddleston Email Bromance. (more…)

Firefly, Joss Whedon‘s show that would not die, made the move from the small screen of television to the big screen of Hollywood years after its untimely cancellation. Now the show makes another jump back into the computer game monitors of online video game players everywhere. That’s right, Firefly is getting an online video game, but that’s not the big news. The big news is that the ENTIRE cast is returning to voice their characters! (more…)

Something like this was bound to happen, the Internet spent a week worrying it self to death over what Nathan Fillion‘s cameo in James Gunn‘s Guardians of the Galaxy would be. Now, with the release of the UK Press Kit, we know all the who and what of the cameos, if we don’t know exactly where those will fit into the movie. I didn’t want to click it and find out, but after about 20 seconds of soul-searching, I crumbled so we could bring it to you here.

As time runs out before the August 1st premiere date of James Gunn‘s much anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe Movie Guardians of the Galaxy, Gunn reached out to fans to discuss wrapping up the production and attempting to squash, once and for all, the Nathan Fillion GOTG cameo rumors. (more…)

Much of the Internet exploded with joy when they heard that fan favorite Nathan Fillion was going to be doing a little cameo in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Since the announcement, people have been trying to guess at what kind of role he’ll be taking on. At first people thought he was going to be Nova, a hero rumored to be making a brief cameo during the post-credits scene of Guardians. Another rumor even claimed that they knew the absolute truth, that Fillion was going to be voicing Cosmo, an intelligent Earth dog turned space traveler. But now Fillion is saying that we don’t know what the hell we’re talking about. (more…)

Since the moment James Gunn signed on to Guardians of the Galaxy, folks have wondered if his good friend and regular collaborator Nathan Fillion might find his way into the film. Fillion, of course, has a busy day job as the lead in ABC’s detective series Castle, so anything larger than a cameo in GOTG was unlikely. Wish granted? Rumors have been afoot in the last couple of days that Fillion will have a small but large part to play in the upcoming Marvel Studios film, but if this latest rumor is true, while the role will be small, though not as important to the as previously believed, it will still be quite memorable. (more…)

Well if this is true, we’re gonna have a major geek-out moment on our hands. And, if you excuse the obligatory pun, this will give the character a huge boost. Who am I referring to? If you’re torn between wanting to know and knowing that there is no way to keep from finding out somehow between now and August 1st, then read on through if you dare.
